cloned route not showing in Quick Drive

Post by silva99ukt »

I have just cloned and renamed GEML route - may attempt to de-electrify it with RW_Tools soon - but was curious as to why the cloned route is not showing up on the Quick Drive option screen. I have simply cloned and renamed - no changes to the route.

cheers

I'm also experiencing this type of problem with a cloned Great Western Mainline. Could someone assist us?

The reason you are not getting a thumbnail of the cloned route is that you have not made a new thumbnail and metadata file for the route you cloned. Your route will still be showing its original name and thumbnail in the QD area.

As you have RW_Tools, you can make a new Preload folder from the options menu, and select your renamed route in the option to Check routes or Scenarios, and click the button to 'Add thumbnail to route' - this will set up the required files in your PreLoad folder for the QD to work. See the following QD selection for my copy of Marias Pass renamed to [TMS] Marias Pass
